NAME
vban3dm − Perform volumetric analysis using manual 3D boundary files
SYNOPSISvban3dm if=<image> id=<case id> [db=<database directory>] [bf=<boundary file>] [bm=<bookmark file>] [wd=<working dir>] [r=<nod>] [-wi] [-vis]
DESCRIPTIONVban3dm performs volumetric analysis on a nodule from a lung CT scan based on a 3D boundary file, typically created with vdview or the Java viewer. The program computes volume by summing the voxels enclosed by the boundary and then scaling the voxels according to pixel size. The algorithm requires a boundary and bookmark file; if none is given, the program will search the directory specified by db (or the current directory) for the most recently accessed boundary file.
Vban3dm outputs the following values: nod (nodule number), volume, type (always set to manual)
OPTIONS|
if= |
Path to VisionX image file of a CT scan. | ||
|
id= |
The ID of the case to be analyzed, for example CU0001. | ||
|
db= |
Location of the database directory. The case ID is appened to the database directory to make the source directory to search for bookmark and boundary files if none are manually specified. If not specified, it defaults to the current directory. | ||
|
bf= |
Full path to the boundary file of interest. If not specified, the program will search the directory created by joining the db directory and case id for the most recently accessed (atime) boundary file. | ||
|
bm= |
Full path to bookmark file and is optional. If not specified, a boookmark file will be selected in a similar manner to the boundary file. | ||
|
wd= |
Working directory; all output goes into this directory. | ||
|
r= |
Remove specified nodule from nod.en in working directory | ||
|
-wi |
Output values in format suitable for evaluation in TCL script (defaults to shell output) | ||
|
-vis |
Generate .gif images suitable for web display in a directory "web" under the wd directory |
